home magazines!

Now that we are officially under contract (Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon ), I want to buy or subscribe to a good home design or style magazine... something for inspiration for paint colors or layouts etc.

i want a creative magazine but not one that has exorbitant priced items that I cant buy since all my money will be going to the house!

any recommendations?

I really love Better Homes and Gardens -- they always have interesting features on design, including paint colors and how to maximize space. And I think a lot of their featured items are accessible and affordable to the average person.

I also like House Beautiful magazine, but I don't subscribe to that one, so I am not as familiar.

I personally love looking at catalogues-- and they are free! I get a lot of ideas from there. Also from watching shows on HGTV.

I subscribe to House Beautiful and I love it. So much inspiration and ideas in it. This Old House is also very nice but I like it best for lots of DIY projects.
